What's Reanimator?
Reanimator is a utility for automatically restarting all applications and background-only processes killed by another process.
It can also be used to quit all running processes and restart them later.
A process is a program running on your computer. When you launch an application, you start a new process. Desk accessories are also processes, while control panels are treated as extensions of the Finder process (see the “Technical details” section below for further info). There are also processes that don't show up when running: they are called background-only processes. Many shareware and freeware extensions run as background-only processes. Reanimator itself, works that way.
I'm used to run a number of applications and extensions in the background (Décor, MyEyes, DragThing, Eudora and other occasional utilities) and I was tired of relaunching each one of them after running an installer, rebuilding the desktop using a dedicated utility or running a game instructed to quit all other processes, including the Finder.
Reanimator accomplishes this task in a single, quick operation.
System Requirements
68020/030/040 or PowerPC;
64 KBytes free memory for the extension;
Mac OS 7.1 or later.
Installation
Click the “Continue” button below to start the installation procedure.
The installer will recognize whether your machine has the necessary hardware/software requirements and will warn you if the installation cannot take place.
The installer will place the extension named “Reanimator Daemon” into your Extensions folder, the control panel named “Reanimator” into your Control Panel Items folder and the rest of the package into a folder called “Reanimator 2.0.7 ƒ” on your hard disk.
It will also place two aliases, respectively named “• Reanimate Now” and “• Terminate Now”, into the Apple Menu Items folder.
If an older version of Reanimator is already present on your machine, the existing extension and control panel will be moved to the Trash.
After installation you will be asked to restart your machine. I recommend doing this.
Please read carefully the documentation files enclosed in the package.
